    I started at 176.4. A week later am at 171.2. Am doing a very low carb--high protein, greens , salads, roasted nuts.
    No bread, crackers, chips, or dairy products at this time--or peas, corn, etc. Only fruit is an apple a day.

    Not quite to 5 lbs lost, but considering I've spent the last week and a half at maintenance, I think I've done pretty well!

    I broke my finger on Feb 17, so will be eating at maintenance for 3 weeks to help it help promote it healing.

    new routine. Should be a better week.

    Feb 14 - 182.5..... Made up an eating schedule, and stayed the same this week.

    Feb 21 - 182.5....Fell off the schedule wagon, and stayed the same this week. Need to pull up my socks!

    Feb 28 - 186.0.....HOLY CRAP - wasn't I supposed to lose 5 lbs?

    Total weight loss for February: 1.8 lbs.
    Total inches lost for February: 5.25 inches

    To be honest, I feel a little cheated this month. I upped my exercise from 30 to 60 mins per day and burned 600 calories daily on my stationary bike for the last 3 weeks. I strength trained twice a week with my personal trainer. I tracked ALL my food every day and only ate over my calories 3 times in the whole month - then only 150 calories or so. I upped my water from 8 glasses per day to 10 glasses per day for the last week. I feel like I did everything right and still the weight did not come off. Two things working against me this week: my 15 yr old daughter had surgery on Monday (which was unbelievably stressful for me) and TOM. Rather than feeling defeated by the scale, I am going to focus on the inches I have lost this month and hope that my weight drops in the next week. Tomorrow is March and I will try, try again.

    Happy Wednesday, everyone!

    I missed my Sunday check-in. I've been crazy busy for the last week.

    My weight is UP and I'm not happy about it. I don't know why, nothing much has changed, I'm making sure my portion size isn't creeping up. I had one day when I literally didn't have time to eat anything but a snack shake. I bused tables at a wedding last Saturday night and ran my tookus off. I have eaten fast food a couple of times but didn't overdo it and stayed within my daily calorie goal except for one day.

    And still... I'm up in 207 land :( From a recent low of 204.4. Not cool. Oh well, nothing to do but keep trying right? I am recording a gain this month for the first time. Even my next worst month I lost a fraction of a pound.

    Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.

    Lowest since 1999: 195.

    Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.

    MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233

    Goal: 180 in however long it takes.

    January 22nd to January 28th: 206.5
    January 29th to February 4th: 205.6
    February 5th to February 11th: 205.9
    February 12th to February 18th: 205.6
    Last 7 days February 22-28th: 206.8

    Loss for February: GAIN of 0.3 lbs.

    MFP Loss: 26.2 lbs.

    Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 36.2 lbs.

    See you in the March thread!

    Move more, eat less.
